# Adaptive Damage Resistance
Adaptive Damage Resistance is a small module for Foundry VTT and the Dungeons & Dragons 5e system.
It adds features that allow creatures to adapt to the damage they suffer. After a creature is hit and actually takes damage, it can gain a temporary resistance or immunity against that damage type. When it is later damaged by another matching damage type, the previous adaptation is replaced.
